Cyrill: I'm not being a "wimp". I'm being tired. And to stop being tired, I will sleep. It will only take a few days to get to Agrett using my route, and Venessandra said it will take the Necromancer a month to get to full power.

Venessandra: ...very well. *dismounts Cyrill's horse, and sets up her bedroll* I must say, I did not expect you all to rally to my aid so easily. I mean, you know nothing of the details of who this necromancer is, and how it came to Linesse, or how I came there.

Loraina: I'm a paladin, we're taught to eliminate any necromancers that pose a threat. I only joined because it would have been more convenient to have help with eliminating it before it becomes too powerful.

Venessandra: *sighs* You should all know the truth. Fifty years ago, Sieph was a very powerful wizard of my order. She viewed that no discipline of magic was worthy of disdain...especially necromancy. She was also obsessed with recent history; namely the Green Plague that wiped out three quarters of the population of Erenvale. She even theorized that it was profaned necromantic rituals that started the plague. It being spread by those who have messed about with corpses, and all. She...she even tried to...recreate it. And you all know the order of Esclior is a very upright institute, they would never dabble in the dark arts. So she was found out, tried, and executed. Now she is back. I do not know how, as I was sent by my order to investigate.Cyrill: But...how did your order know that she...came back to "life"?Venessandra: They saw her skeleton walked out of the mausoleum.

Venessandra: Believe me, she had no altruistic intent in attempting to recreate the plague. She wanted it to succeed this time, to wipe out the living, to make people fear their own shadows, she wanted Death to stalk the streets.
